What is the strangest town on this ist? Are there any other towns in Canada with weird names?!
How was the pizza at Louis Gees at 9:53? 😂
@@andrewharvey1206 I enjoyed my Donair!
@@Sprouht best place in town for them too!
Would have loved to see you guys visit heart's content
You guys should really explore the northern Peninsula if you have time. It’s actually such an amazing experience, especially Gros Morne National park. The western Brooke boat tours is also an amazing experience.
Some oddly named places on the northern peninsula include but aren’t limited too,
Cow head, dead man’s cove, Nameless cove, savage cove.
There’s a lot of exploring that can be done on the northern peninsula. I’d recommend L'Anse aux Meadows, it has some really cool Vikings stuff up there.
I grew up in a small community up there, and believe you me, it’s a lot different then the Avalon peninsula. All the best on your travels!
As a Newfoundlander, this is my favourite series on UA-cam right now
Thanks Josh!😁
Agreed! I just found it yesterday and love it. Not to mention, they pronounce Newfoundland properly!!
Same
It’s nice to see someone enjoy our province as much as we do
@@lc1371 such a nice feeling ♡
I was born and raised in Ontario but my dad is from Newfoundland, and while he was still in Ontario I got to experience some of the culture from him. there was a shop in our local flea market that had souvenirs and snacks from Newfoundland that we were regulars of. Never been their myself but next year I'm planning on going with my friends to experience it and to see my dad again, havent seen him in about 10 years since he moved there. Hell I plan on moving down there when my girlfriend and I can afford it and starting a family.
Haha yes, Newfoundland is very unique in this way. This series is really great and gives a good look at aspects of Newfoundland that people don’t think to look at. Can’t wait to see what the same done for other provinces. Love watching these each week.
Thanks so much Nathan!
That post office to the pub transition was smoooooth 🔥🔥
Ayyy thanks man
Being a proud Dildonian...I love this!
Let’s go!!
Wild seeing you bys down in Port De Grave
Ehhhh by
@@SprouhtEven picked up some slang I see. Your not easy by. Much love
As a person who was born and raised in Ontario, Canada...but the rest of the family is from Newfoundland, I can say to you that these videos make me want to move there. ❤

I stumbled on your channel last week and I’m loving this series. I don’t know if Labrador is on your road map on this cross country adventure. As beautiful as Newfoundland is the Big Land is something special that shouldn’t be missed!!
I can’t express how disappointed I am but we didn’t get to Labrador! Next trip!

Hello I’m a Newfoundlander born and bred here my family and ancestors have lived here for centuries. I was born in a small town called cox cove which is also a very beautiful place with lots of scenery and very nice people also welcome to Newfoundland!
Really loving this series :) When you eventually come to Australia you can explore our weird place names including Tittybong and Humpty Doo !
Sounds good to me Rosie! 😅
Also wow I was laughing during this entire video because #hilarious. Also, I now want to visit all these random towns, you make them look so fun! ON MY WAY
Hahahahahah😅
Awesome videos I'm from marystown living in paradise now loving your videos and you showing our beautiful province 👍💯
FYI guys, I live on Random Island. Lived and worked around the world, but Random Island is my favourite place. My hubby is Scandinavian and he loves Newfoundland and it's people. Enjoy your journey. I will follow along.
Now THAT is crazy. So cool of you to come on here and comment!
@@Sprouht LOL I am an Newfoundlander born and bred, from a family that traces it roots in Newf to the 1620's. Luv's it. Luv what you do as we say in Newf, my little trout! LOL
Can't wait to see your next video 🤗
Can’t believe you didn’t include spread eagle… and others along the way across.
Only had so much time but damn.. that’s a good one.
@@Sprouht it was only 15min away from Dildo.
Both of you are doing an awesome job on your cross Canada trip. Keep it up, it's very interesting to me in the U.S.
Thanks Will! You have an incredibly amazing first name, by the way.
Newfoundland is definitely on my to-do list for visiting. But first the Yukon is calling my name 🙏🎥
Nice!
as as
I’m from newfoundland and grew up in clarenville but spent most of my days down on random island. Glad you was able to find it good small area!
Shocked to see you guys visit Port De Grave ! I grew up in Bay Robert's before moving to St.Johns and every year during Christmas the big thing is to visit Port De Grave to see the lights. All the local fishermen decorate their boats and people from locals to non locals love it !. So far in this series you've been by my home, both in St.Johns and where I grew up . Having a grand time watching lol
Bro was legit in my hometown because you got to go through there to get to random island and i love watching videos on the places where I grew up!!!
Loads of fun to watch!
Thanks Jack!
Thanks for visiting Newfoundland and when William pronounced touton correctly made my day!
Been loving your videos here mate!
Thanks so much!

Nothing better than waking up On a Sunday Morning and watching your videos ; cheers mate another job well done 👍✅
------dildo best town in Canada 🤣
Thanks so much Aman!
OMG ... I send so many postcards. The "Dear Future Will" greeting on your card is fire!
I can’t wait for your Twillingate video! I spent so much time there this summer. I have family living there and some of the surrounding area as well. We stayed in Summerford while we were in NL, but I’m originally from the town of Lewisporte. I miss home so much! I’m so glad you got to experience NL. There’s so many beautiful places to explore there. Definitely go back if you get the chance! ❤️
Coming tomorrow!!
Keep the good work! Enjoying all the videos from CT btw… 😃
Thanks Heidy! Whats CT?
@@Sprouht CT is short for Connecticut, USA! 😊
Looking forward to next weeks episode because Twillingate is my hometown!
What a great place!!
Newfoundland is My home and the first town you show is where i have lived for 17 yrs!
Amazing journey
Awesome Cross-Canada journey!
Make sure to visit Clarenville, it may be small but the bay is beautiful
Another great vid. Ya got a new sub from me. Long May yer big jib draw! Cheers
Thanks so much!
Sprouht if u have been to corner brook yet or if u haven’t, either way do the zipping at marble mountain, it’s really good experience u will like it. There’s also a cliff jumping spot up there right on the edge of a cliff it’s sick!
Sounds awesome! I’m already out of NL but next time for sure
Really funny vid. I can't remember the last time I sent a postcard. I should do it again sometime. Keep it up! 😀
We were there in 2001 and my son sent post cards from Dildo to many of his friends. Did I say we live in New York City.
I think it’s time to send one!
Dildo is my hometown! So nice to see others enjoying our little corner of the world. Cheers.
🤣 Was lying down in front of the little lighthouse intentional? 🤣 I had to cancel my Newfoundland trip due to weather, but I'm hoping to get out there this year. I miss hearing Mike drop a bad dad joke 🦌😆 he used to do that at least once in his earlier videos.
Im from the goulds an love to see videos of where we live👍🏼
One of my fav town names in Newfoundland is a play on words, Lushes Bight
I can see my nan and pop's house in your aerial view of the Harbour in Port de grave with the wharf. I grew up there in that very small village and can say 100% the people that live there love it. It's a very tightknit community and everyone helps everyone else out. I grew up skipping rocks off that pier and jigging for fish, catching crabs with my brother on the beach. So many memories.❤ BTW it's pronounced Port da grave by the locals haha.
How was Louis Gee’s Pizza did ya get a donair??? I grew up eating that.
Too bad I missed you when you passed though Gander. Hope you guys had some fun! 😊
Oh we definitely did!
Loving the series. I was shocked to hear Port De Grave where my grandfather was born. He helped build Gander which is where I am, born and raised. Did you visit the Museum of Flight? Guess I'll find out in the next video, eh 😆 Long may yer big jib draw. Happy trails
So cool! Thanks Sandy.
amazing content, much love
Yes, please. It’s a great university.
I'm right across the Harbour from port de grave, in bayroberts cheers
That's too funny guys 😂 from d!ldo, to blow me down, to the size of the "lighthouse", to come by chance 🤣
Thanks Tony! 😃
0:23 So you “Come by chance” To this “random Island” I love how u said it so dang perfectly as a riddle I guess and also I do live in Newfoundland BTW and I’m glad that u got to know Newfoundland my small home country I hope u will come back to NL again and maybe explore more towns that u have never “Come by chance” To get to see before ;)
Thanks so much!!! Hopefully coming back in the next few months :D
Canada Post store front sign is epic lol
Looks like the perfect atmosphere/weather for a microbrewery and mouthwatering fish & chips. We know the real reason you ended the video, though, was b/c you ran outta inuendos. Gr8 fun . . . glad you let me share.
You have to visit st Lawrence or Glovertown
I hope you are gonna take the ferry to saint-pierre at some point
true
Strange but good!
I love Garnish ♡
You guys went to Random Island? Seems like an interesting place to visit.
Subscribed, Im from lewisporte, not far from twillingate
We went there! You have a great Tim Hortons.
@@Sprouht it's good but slow lol
There are also newfie themed escape rooms in St Johns!
You forgot to mention that Gorge Street has the highest density of bars in canada.
These videos make me miss home. Thank you for doing this. Wish you all the best. Enjoy 😊 p.s hope your planning to leave the province via marine atlantic.
Thanks so much Natasha! I did leave via MA ✅
@@Sprouht that is my hometown, you had to go across a little bridge to get to the boat a drive around a huge rock to get their to the terminal. Their were the little coloured houses along the water and the hotel on the hill where I used to work. I wish you best on your journey. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos ❤️
Gotta love Newfoundland. My family is from Newfoundland but I live in Calgary now, if you need any travel tips for Alberta I’d gladly help you out!
Dildos a pretty cool name 😂, and good vid again!
Thank you!
You should go to grand falls in NL
I live in Newfoundland and you did not try the fish in quirpon
Awesome
Newfoundland has the best names!
You can get some slapping ones in St. John’s
I went to Newfoundland for the first time this summer :) So neat to see most of the places I got to see in your videos!
I grew up in a tiny outport near Random Island called 'Gin Cove'.
I shit you not. :)
Come to Labrador!!!
لااله الاالله محمد رسول الله
For the best fish and chips you need to visit Bell Island
I wonder if there are AirBnb's in each of these towns... would be lovely to spend 2 days about each in those places..
One thing - in one of the towns, when they had arrived at a dead end - as there was a sea beyond that - they did not even show the view of the sea from the dead end road - it seems that kind of thing (sea beyond a dead end road in a small town 😱) is very ordinary for them 😱..
Watching you eat fish and chips..... well now I gotta order chess' haha
I’ve lived in Newfoundland my entire life and when you said the French pronunciation of port de grave I had no idea what you meant lol. Here you say it with a heavy Anglo accent
I'm surprised you did not visit my home town of Witless Bay.
That's a nice little place too, I like how the Irish loop passes through all those places especially Ferryland. I've had breakfast at that little diner in Witless bay, up from where people park and look out at the Ecological Reserve. I was enjoying the Pondhouse eatery in Bay Bulls till it closed down ☹.
Dunno why the receipt is offended about: More to life, THEN beer, sounds pretty good to me~
See you ext week then.
Lol there's a cumby, Texas...🤭
Should give Carbonear a chance if you can
In the Popeye cartoons, Popeye the Sailor often said "blow me down." The meaning seems to be close to the one described here.
The fish and chips in Dildo looked amazing. I would travel from Florida to Dildo for the fish and chips and a good beer.
The best part you can get amazing fish and chips anywhere pretty much on the island
Welcome to bay wobberts
I live in Newfoundland
